[Air-L] First Monday shutting down after 30 years

[Christopher Lueg]

I would also be interested in helping keep FM alive.

The crazy increase in submissions and the associated scarcity of reviewers
is a challenge that all journals have been dealing with but now we face an
incoming avalanche of AI (co-)generated papers that exceed even the
capacity of editors that have substantial institutional support.

"Perhaps FM - the Sequel" could become a testbed for a different submission
model!? Happy to share a few ideas.

Best,
Christopher
